The two men had gone out to a nightclub in Livadia to have fun and, according to reports, had consumed a significant amount of alcohol. When they returned to the residence where they were staying in Aradippou, a heated argument broke out outside the house. A few minutes later, the altercation moved inside the house. There, the 21-year-old allegedly grabbed two knives from the kitchen and stabbed him repeatedly.
